Configuring the DTMF Transport Types You can control the way DTMF digits are transported over the IP network to the remote endpoint. The following five modes are supported: Using INFO message according to the Nortel IETF draft: In this mode DTMF digits are carried to the remote side within INFO messages.
MediaPack Series Sending DTMF digits (in RTP packets) as part of the audio stream (DTMF Relay is disabled): Note that this method is normally used with G.711 coders; with other low-bit rate (LBR) coders the quality of the DTMF digits is reduced. To enable this mode, define the following: •...
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities 7.2.2 Fax/Modem Transport Modes The gateway supports the following transport modes for fax and each modem type (V.22/V.23/Bell/V.32/V.34): T.38 fax relay (refer to 'Fax Relay Mode' on page 325) Fax and modem bypass: a proprietary method that uses a high bit rate coder (refer to 'Fax/Modem Bypass Mode' on page 326) NSE Cisco’s Pass-through bypass mode for fax and modem (refer to 'Fax / Modem NSE Mode' on page 327)
MediaPack Series In this mode, the parameter FaxTransportMode is ignored. To configure T.38 mode using SIP Re-INVITE messages, set IsFaxUsed to 1. Additional configuration parameters include the following: FaxRelayEnhancedRedundancyDepth FaxRelayRedundancyDepth FaxRelayECMEnable FaxRelayMaxRate 7.2.2.1.2 Automatically Switching to T.38 Mode without SIP Re-INVITE In this mode, when a fax signal is detected the channel automatically switches from the current voice coder to answer tone mode, and then to T.38-compliant fax relay mode.

SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities 7.2.2.6 Fax / Modem Transparent Mode In this mode, fax and modem signals are transferred using the current voice coder without notifications to the user and without automatic adaptations. It's possible to use the Profiles mechanism (refer to 'Configuring the Profile Definitions' on page 138) to apply certain adaptations to the channel that is used for fax / modem.
MediaPack Series 7.2.3 Supporting V.34 Faxes Unlike T.30 fax machines, V.34 fax machines have no relay standard to transmit the data over IP to the remote side. Therefore, the gateway provides the following operation modes for transporting V.34 fax data over the IP: Using bypass mechanism for V.34 fax transmission (refer to 'Using Bypass Mechanism for V.34 Fax Transmission' on page 330) Using relay mode, i.e., fallback to T.38 (refer to 'Using Relay mode for both T.30 and...
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities V23ModemTransportType = 0 V22ModemTransportType = 0 7.2.4 Supporting V.152 Implementation The gateway supports the ITU-T recommendation V.152 (Procedures for Supporting Voice- Band Data over IP Networks). Voice-band data (VBD) is the transport of modem, facsimile, and text telephony signals over a voice channel of a packet network with a codec appropriate for such signals.
MediaPack Series FXO Operating Modes This section provides a description of the FXO operating modes and gateway configurations for Tel-to-IP and IP-to-Tel calls. 7.3.1 IP-to-Telephone Calls The FXO gateway provides the following operating modes for IP-to-Tel calls: One-stage dialing • Waiting for dial tone •...
Page 333
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities One -stage dialing incorporates the following FXO functionality: Waiting for Dial Tone The Waiting for Dial Tone feature enables the gateway to dial the digits to the Tel side only after detecting a dial tone from the PBX line. The ini file parameter IsWaitForDialTone is used to configure this operation.
MediaPack Series 7.3.1.2 Two-Stage Dialing Two-stage dialing is when the IP caller is required to dial twice. The caller initially dials to the FXO gateway and only after receiving a dial tone from the PBX (via the FXO gateway) dials the destination telephone number. Figure 7-2: Call Flow for Two-Stage Dialing Two-stage dialing implements the Dialing Time feature.
Page 335
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities The PBX doesn't disconnect the call, but instead signals to the gateway that the call is disconnected using one of the following methods: Detection of polarity reversal / current disconnect: The call is immediately disconnected after polarity reversal or current disconnect is detected on the Tel side (assuming the PBX / CO produces this signal).
MediaPack Series 7.3.1.4 DID Wink The gateway's FXO ports support Direct Inward Dialing (DID). DID is a service offered by telephone companies that enables callers to dial directly to an extension on a PBX without the assistance of an operator or automated call attendant. This service makes use of DID trunks, which forward only the last three to five digits of a phone number to the PBX.
MediaPack Series 7.3.2.3 Ring Detection Timeout The ini file parameters IsWaitForDialTone and WaitForDialTone apply to Ring Detection Timeout. The operation of Ring Detection Timeout depends on the following: No automatic dialing and Caller ID is enabled: if the second ring signal doesn’t arrive for Ring Detection Timeout, the gateway doesn’t initiate a call to the IP.

The table below lists the support event types (and subtypes) and the corresponding gateway configurations, if required: Table 7-1: Supported X-Detect Event Types Events Required Configuration Type...
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities Dynamic Jitter Buffer Operation Voice frames are transmitted at a fixed rate. If the frames arrive at the other end at the same rate, voice quality is perceived as good. In many cases, however, some frames can arrive slightly faster or slower than the other frames.
MediaPack Series Configuring Alternative Routing (Based on Connectivity and QoS) The Alternative Routing feature enables reliable routing of Tel-to-IP calls when a Proxy isn’t used. The gateway periodically checks the availability of connectivity and suitable Quality of Service (QoS) before routing. If the expected quality cannot be achieved, an alternative IP route for the prefix (phone number) is selected.
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities Mapping PSTN Release Cause to SIP Response The MediaPack FXO is used to interoperate between the SIP network and the PSTN/PBX. This interoperability includes the mapping of PSTN/PBX Call Progress Tones to SIP 4xx or 5xx responses for IP Tel calls.

SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities Notes: • All call participants must support the specific supplementary service that is used. • When working with certain application servers (such as BroadSoft’s BroadWorks) in client server mode (the application server controls all supplementary services and keypad features by itself), the gateway's supplementary services must be disabled.
MediaPack Series 7.13.3 Call Transfer There are two types of call transfers: Consultation Transfer (REFER and REPLACES): The common way to perform a consultation transfer is as follows: In the transfer scenario there are three parties: Party A = transferring, Party B = transferred, Party C = transferred to.
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities On Busy or No Reply: incoming call is forwarded if the port is busy or when calls are not answered after a specified time. Do Not Disturb: immediately reject incoming calls. Upon receiving a call to Do Not Disturb call, the 603 Decline SIP response code is sent.
MediaPack Series 7.13.6 Message Waiting Indication Support for Message Waiting Indication (MWI) according to IETF <draft-ietf-sipping-mwi- 04.txt>, including SUBSCRIBE (to MWI server). The FXS gateway can accept an MWI NOTIFY message that indicates waiting messages or that the MWI is cleared. Users are informed of these messages by a stutter dial tone.
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities 7.13.7 Caller ID This section discusses the gateway's Caller ID support. 7.13.7.1 Caller ID Detection / Generation on the Tel Side By default, generation and detection of Caller ID to the Tel side is disabled. To enable Caller ID, set the parameter EnableCallerID to 1.
MediaPack Series 7.13.7.2 Debugging a Caller ID Detection on FXO To debug a Caller ID detection on an FXO gateway, take these 6 steps: Verify that the parameter EnableCallerID is set to 1. Verify that the caller ID standard (and substandard) of the gateway match the standard of the PBX (CallerIDType, BellcoreCallerIDTypeOneSubStandard, and ETSICallerIDTypeOneSubStandard).
SIP User's Manual 7. Telephony Capabilities 7.13.7.3 Caller ID on the IP Side 7.13.7.3.1 Overview Caller ID is provided by the From header containing the caller's name and "number", for example: From: “David” <SIP:101@10.33.2.2>;tag=35dfsgasd45dg If Caller ID is restricted (received from Tel or configured in the gateway), the From header is set to: From: “anonymous”...
Page 364
MediaPack Series The caller ID can be restricted / allowed (per port) using keypad features KeyCLIR and KeyCLIRDeact (FXS only). AssertedIdMode defines the header that is used (in the generated INVITE request) to deliver the caller ID (P-Asserted-Identity or P-preferred-Identity). Use the parameter UseTelURIForAssertedID to determine the format of the URI in these headers (sip: or tel:).

MediaPack Series You can control the activation of No-Op packets by using the ini file parameter NoOpEnable. If No-Op packet transmission is activated, you can control the time interval in which No-Op packets are sent in the case of silence (i.e., no RTP or T.38 traffic). This is performed using the ini file parameter NoOpInterval.
SIP User's Manual 8. Networking Capabilities The CHAP is a more sophisticated method of authentication. The two hosts share a ‘secret’. The authenticator sends a ‘challenge’ to the host requesting authentication. The host performs a calculation (one-way hash) using the challenge received from the authenticator and the shared ‘secret’, and sends the result to the authenticator.
MediaPack Series The gateway initiates a PPPoE discovery phase to discover a PPPoE Access Concentrator. It does this by broadcasting a discovery initialization packet (PADI). If an Access Concentrator exists and replies, the gateway tries to connect to this Access Concentrator.
SIP User's Manual 8. Networking Capabilities The first packet arriving on a newly opened channel sets the source IP address and UDP port from which further packets are received. Thus, the source IP address and UDP port identify the currently accepted stream. If a new packet arrives whose source IP address or UDP port are different to the currently accepted RTP stream, one of the following occurs: The gateway reverts to the new RTP stream when the new packet has a source IP address and UDP port that are the same as the remote IP address and UDP port that...
MediaPack Series When the client receives a response to its request from the identified NTP server it must be interpreted based on time zone, or location, offset that the system is to a standard point of reference called the Universal Time Coordinate (UTC). The time offset that the NTP client uses is configurable using the Embedded Web Server (refer to 'Configuring the Application Settings' on page 168), the ini file (NTPServerUTCOffset), or via an SNMP MIB object (refer to the SIP Series Reference Manual).
SIP User's Manual 8. Networking Capabilities In Dual IP mode, thegateway is assigned two IP addresses for the different traffic types. One IP address is assigned with a combination of two traffic types (Media and Control, OAM and Control, or OAM and Media), while the other IP address is assigned to whichever traffic type not included in this combination.
